Special Assessments

Effective October 1st, 2014 drain special assessments were turned over to the local units of Government for processing. Thereafter, any annual debt payments on multiple year financing projects due this year will appear on the 2014 winter tax bill and will no longer be eligible for payoff. Please call the Water Resources Commissioner’s Office for more information regarding drain debt pay

Under the Drain Code of 1956, the Water Resources Commissioner shall make a special assessment roll for the drain for each county, township, city, and/or village affected. These assessments cover many of the expenses of locating, establishing and constructing the drain, including maintenance of the drain.
